I like your thoughts, Owen. Within that it would be great if we could search by zone or location (or just in general with two keystrokes.
Presently the search function does not recognize state abbreviations or my zone (“7a”) for example. Region is so important, especially for those new to bonsai -it took me a spell to figure out what is good for those in say, Southern California, is not always best in the S.E. ...some form of this consideration in a beginner prime could be very helpful, along with the means to search folks/threads in your region/zone/state/country etc with more direct ease.
